MOXA PComm
PComm, a professional serial comm tool for PCs, is a software package that runs under Windows
NT/2000/XP/2003/95/98. PComm provides:
! A powerful serial communication library that simplifies serial programming tasks for most
popular programming languages. The serial communication library is useful for developing
applications for data communications, remote access, data acquisition, and industrial control
under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/95/98, and is a simpler programming solution compared
to the more complex Windows Win32 COMM API.
! Useful utilities such as diagnostic, monitor, and terminal emulator.
! Illustrative sample programs.
! Comprehensive on-line documentation.
Installing PComm
To install PComm, run \Setup.exe from the Documentation and Software CD. Note that the
PComm diagnostic and monitor utilities are for Moxa boards only. To use these utilities, you must
have a Moxa board and the appropriate Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP/2003) device driver
installed in your system. See the “Software Installation” chapter for instructions on how to install
the drivers.
After installing PComm, click on Start, select Program Files, and then the PComm Lite group
to select from the list of utilities and documents.
PComm Programming Library
The serial communication library helps you develop serial communications programs for any
COM port that complies with the Microsoft Win32 API. This library facilitates the implementation
of multi-process, multi-thread serial communication programs, and greatly reduces the time
required to develop applications.
For a complete description of the library functions and sample programs for Visual C++, Visual
Basic, and Delphi, check the help file and the sample programs in the PComm directory.
